How authentic is the statement of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab: "O Allah, make my faith like the faith of the old women"?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the reason? There is no faith, there is no faith like that faith which you attributed to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, that his faith was like the faith of the old women. May Allah forgive you, this is the knowledge that you are receiving.
Another questioner: May Allah grant you well-being, O Shaykh. He did not say, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab: "O Allah, grant us faith like the faith of the old women."
The Shaykh: No, he did not say that. Look, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah bless you, you are at that hour, and it seems you are still hovering around the hour, around the priorities. The priorities today, and you are making it clear that you are a soldier and a pilot, enthusiastic. I want to ask you a question, do you know it from me? When the battle is ongoing between the Muslims and the disbelievers, the Muslims, day and night, are they living, or are there hours of rest and hours of relaxation? What is your opinion?
The questioner: In the battle, you mean?
The Shaykh: In the battle. You know the battle will not last day and night, day and night, day and night.
The questioner : O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: No eating and no drinking.
The questioner: Did you see? One thing fights, one thing sleeps, and one thing eats.
The Shaykh: Okay, this is it.
The questioner: Hehehehe
The Shaykh: This is it. So, is there any meaning to rest, or not?
The questioner : Of course.
The Shaykh: There is a time for rest, there is a time for rest, in the priorities. Think carefully, huh?
The questioner: The time for rest.
The Shaykh: Think carefully, and I am an advisor and a reminder to you.
The questioner: If a person wants to go to sleep because he is sleepy, and I see many of your students around you whispering.
The Shaykh: May Allah bless you.
The questioner: That they are interested in your rocket attacks, hehehe.
The questioner : Hehe.
The Shaykh: Hehehe, there is no power and no strength except with Allah.
Al-Halabi: Likewise, O our Shaykh, in the rocket terminology, hehe.
The Shaykh: The rocket ones, hehehe.
Al-Halabi: And the flying.
The Shaykh: Yes, yes, yes. I mean, I go back and say, what does not come with you, come with it. Are you not willing to walk with me?
